Abstract

In order to facilitate place-affordance queries on the Web, this work proposes the employment of an ontology of place and service types. While other works defined place-affordance by associating a place with its physical objects, the conceptual view of a place-affordance in this work is based on associating a place type with its typical service types, which is reflected in the ontology construction methodology. Preliminary results, as well as an overview of the current work, are briefly introduced.
